Is Alchemy Science or Magic: How Alchemy is Performed - History of Ayurvedic Alchemy in India

How Alchemy is performed:For doing alchemy, one requires mercury. Mercury to be
processed to withstand the melting point of copper or even iron and it is the
basic step called as binding. As you know, if will add mercury in a molten lead,
it will immediately get mixed with the entire metal. It will not evaporate as
the melting point of lead is something around 300 degrees, but if you add same
mercury in molten copper, it will evaporate and will not be there, but a binded
mercury will not evaporate and that technique is a secret. If you add some gold
into mercury, it will dissolve in mercury. If you will add binded mercury with
gold with a molten copper, then all copper molecules are coated with mercury
and gold, so entire copper looks gold even you cut it and melt it. Actually for
getting a perfect color match, you need 7 gm of silver, 3 gm of copper, and 1
gm binded mercury with gold. This is a second quality counterfeit note like
process which in ancient time Indian saints used for their living.

The burning truth of Alchemy ends here. | Source

Now how genuine alchemy was performed? Read this. Mercury’s molecule weight is near that of
gold and if atoms of mercury are split, it will transform into gold. Similarly,
you can change the atomic number of lead and can transform into gold.
Everything is science. Man tried to make gold so he found bronze a mixture
metal. Swarna Vanga Bhasma widely used by Ayurvedic physicians for treatment of
fever and mental disorders is another
attempt to find gold. Swarna means gold and all this is scientific and not
magic. Alkalis like calcium, potassium, aluminum, etc. are mainly used for
processing, so it is Alchemy, a science rather performing magic what many
people think.

History of Alchemy in India
applied to world’s oldest medical science of Ayurveda dates back to 3000 B.C., i.e.,
in Mahabharata times. It has been said that there were Magha Bheshaja and
Purohit (Magha Spagyric Ayurvedic practitioners and Priests) who are said to
have cured the leprosy of Prince Samba, the son of Lord Sri Krishna. Magha
physicians used to travel from one country to another to spread their
knowledge. They are said to be originally from Sakyadwipa (probably Scythia). In those times, Iran
was called as Madra (King Shalya and the Iranian Madri, the wife of Pandu was
from Madra) and Greece was
called as Ayoana which later became Yavan in classic Sanskrit and Ion in Persia.
These Maghas were astronomers and physicians in Pre-Zoroastrian times in Persia and were called Maga or Mada in Persia. Maghas
traveled to Greece
and settled there. These Maghas used to cure the disease promptly with help of
herbs and metals probably using the method of Spagyrism. The word Magha became
Magus in Greek and Magis in Latin, and turned into the word MAGIC in old
brythonic English. This is the etymological history of word MAGIC which is
related to alchemy. That is how the lost history of Ayurveda the alchemical
medicines used to be prepared on the herbal basis. Soma Rasa known all around
the world was an exhilarating divine elixir and is one of the best examples.

Some Western scholars say that
Alchemy began in Greece and some say its root word comes from Egyptian root
word Keme (Black), other says in Persian language the gold is called Khimiya
but Indian Vedas throw a light on the history of Alchemy according to rasayan
shastra, as India is the only nation that seems to be using the metals and
herbal preparations down the centuries in different types of methods. Even soma
rasa was prepared in prevedic times in India and “kim” the root word in Vedic
Sanskrit means to transform. That’s how it is related to Cheme of Chemistry or
Alchemy. As Al is an Arabic prefix added to Chemiya, means that which
transforms or transmutes.

Moreover in simple words, Alchemy
means turning anything especially a material into a metal called gold and
according to Ayurveda’s Rasa Shastra which was the oldest Art Of Vedic Alchemy,
some ancient sages knew about its beneficial healing powers and were able to
work on it successfully for medicinal purposes. Also, gold has many uses in Ayurvedic
medical preparation. Ras Sindoor is one product of Ayurveda where the Prabhav (special
efficacy as a medicine on the living body) of gold is transferred to a combination
of mercury and sulfur where in the process gold that is used is measured at the
end of process and in successful chemical processes it should by weighing as
much as it was before the start of process.

So if you ask who first discovered alchemy,
then it has not remained a very difficult question to answer. Indian word “Veda”
means alchemy and word “Rasaveda” means transforming a metal adding mercury
oxide and transforming it into gold. In Tamil language “Veda” means chemistry, so
it may be from Vedic days. The present day Rasa Shastras of tamil siddha
vaidyam works are only 1300 years old and they clearly explain the methods of
alchemy in a very scientific way. Least but not last, alchemy is protoscience
or you can say it is one of the oldest chapter of modern organic chemistry and
not in anyway related to magic or world of warcraft.

Naushadar which is Ammonium Chloride is found on earth in solid form, which is used for various purposes for curing certain diseases like chronic hepatic congestion, oedema and various other diseases, but it is used in solid, or it is mixed with some solution.I have done deep research on it and I have prepared an oil of it which is yellowish,dark red and white in colour. It is only oil of Ammonium Chloride at room temperature. It is prepared with some rear herbs. When this oil is put on any metal like iron, lead, copper it converts that metal into its ash after heating with it for sometime I have read in old granthas that if its oil is prepared it can be used to cure diseases which are incurable like Aasthma, cancer etc.

Sulphur is a chemical which is also called Amlasar Gandakh, is yellowish in colour and is solid at room temperature. In scientific language it cannot be liquid at room temperature but after doing a lot of work on it I have prepared liquid pure sulphur or oil of sulphur which is dark yellow and orange yellow in colour, but it is not sulphuric acid it is only permanent liquid sulphur at room temperature. It is liquid pure sulphur without reacting it with any chemical. I have read in old granthas it is used to cure leprosy and other disease.

I have prepared pure liquid Sulphur or oil of Sulphur, liquid ammonium chloride, white copper, white ash of cinnabar and red oil of cinnabar which is used to cure diseases, which is rear I want to know that if all these things are effective in curing some incurable diseases where to send it for testing. If anybody interested in this or want to do research in any scientific laboratory or want to test it for use can contact me.
